System Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lunden trail is a narrow belt close to the primary and dwarf companion.
It is believed to have been a moderate-sized world that was shattered by a
close passage of Dobijadt, which is in an orbit with 0.05 eccentricity.
About 23,000 people used to live and work in the belt, which is high in
metals and was one of the major exports to Lanyard from this system. With
The Solomani pullout eliminated the major source of supplies needed to
survive in the belt, and it is currently uninhabited.
Frostbite, in the primary system, is an icy world with only a small partial
pressure of oxygen (effectivly rated at "trace" for breathing purposes),
the remainder being nitrogen and other neutral gasses. Most of the
land surface is locked in ice, and this world could be quite habitable if
terraformed. The remains of a small expedition base, left over from the
days of colonization are here but not in the greatest of shape.

Morgan has the greatest population of any of the four colonies, a result of
a high birthrate and nearly constant immigration which had been pushed for by
over five generations of the Morgan family. Most of the usable landmass is
fortunately in the equatorial region, broken into four land masses of
roughly equal size stretching about halfway around the world.
The major population center, Morganport (situated on the east-center
landmass, on the west coast), includes the spaceport and is the center of
government and trade with a population of 1,345,000 in the city proper and
another 1,450,000 in surrounding suburban areas. The cultural center of the
world is Westpoint, a port city on the westernmost subcontinent, on the west
coast, with a city population of 300,000 and a surrounding population of
150,560. The remaining population is scattered more or less evenly on
the landmasses.
In the past few decades before the Solomani pullout, Morgan's government
had bloated, becoming distant from both the people and Solomani influence.
The Solomani pullout caused great hardship as Morgan was a major importer
of technology. In 1122 Lanyard tried to enforce an official joining with
itself, in effect trying to take the place of the Solomani, but due to
cultural differences and several social blunders on the part of the LDO
commanders, the local population and government resisted. The Lanyard
forces made a half-hearted attempt to use force, damaging Morgan's limited
industrial centers, but it was decided by the Lanyard Central Council that
there was no gain in the proposition and Morgan was left to itself.
The general population has taken on a slightly xenophobic bent as a result
of this fiasco, to the point of breaking up into scattered areas under
individual rule where even strangers from other areas are viewed with
suspicion. This was due largely to to the small scattering of supporters
of Lanyard's attempt. Even to this day small cores of support exist, but
given current attitudes they are very hard to find.
